Become a Fair Go For Animals Ally

As an organisation working within the animal protection movement, you’re likely aware that Australia’s current animal welfare governance system is fundamentally flawed. There are conflicts of interest amongst government decision-makers, inconsistencies in regulations across states and territories, loopholes in laws, and standards that ignore science and community expectations.  

The Fair Go for Animals campaign proposes a six-point reform framework designed to build a fair and independent animal welfare governance system in Australia.

Why should your organisation endorse a Fair Go for Animals?

The Australian Alliance for Animals is a national charity leading a strategic alliance of Australia’s key animal protection organisations to create systemic change for animals. We are supported by six core member organisations who act as strategic partners on key reform campaigns and provide funds, support and assistance to the Alliance.  

In addition to our core members, we actively encourage other organisations who support our vision and objectives to join our #FairGoForAnimals Allies and help build the capacity and impact of the animal protection community. Your endorsement strengthens our collective voice and reflects evolving public and scientific support for better animal welfare.

If your organisation is interested in joining, please apply today. We welcome applications from a wide variety of organisations and sectors.

  • The current laws in Australia fail to protect animals, even when that is what they promise to do. We will never create a total ethics fashion system which puts people, our fellow animals and the planet alike before profit unless we see much needed legislative change, like that which the #FairGoForAnimals campaign calls for.

  • We agree categorically with the six points of reform the Alliance is proposing... The report recommendations are reflective of community expectations around animal welfare reform. It is Australia’s shame that a rich country like ours has been given a ‘D’ ranking in World Animal Protection’s global Animal Protection Index... Australia desperately needs to improve our country's poor record of how we treat all animals.

  • The mark of a civilised society is how it treats its most vulnerable. Australian laws currently permit sentient animals to be tortured and horrifically slaughtered. Australia is failing animals. This is partly due to the inherent conflict of interest that arises when a government department is responsible for promoting animal exploitation and animal welfare. Animal welfare always comes second and is mostly ignored. Consequently, The Animal Law Institute supports a #FairGoForAnimals.

  • We recognise the importance of independent oversight over animal welfare – as well as the harm caused to animals when animal use industries drive animal welfare policy. We fully support Alliance for Animals’ campaign for a more balanced and independent animal welfare governance system in Australia.

  • Dog racers can still count on governments to defend and subsidise their cruel activity. This shows that Australia’s animal welfare systems protect animal users above animals. We need to change the systems to change the world for greyhounds. #FairGoForAnimals

  • We want to see animals treated in a way that respects their sentience and protects their welfare. We believe these reforms will provide a comprehensive framework that better protects animals from cruelty by ensuring their interests are a primary consideration in all related decisions."
